To'all whom it may concern: I Be it known that I, ELOISE H. METOALF,

i which can be readily removed from said seat by simply pulling ittherefrom.

In the drawings: Figure 1 represents my improved attachment as foldedfor delivery by a vending machine.

F ig. 2 represents my improved attachment as unfolded ready to beapplied to the seat. Fig. 3 represents a seat with my improvedattachment applied thereto. a

Fig. 4 is a section along the kne l-4 in Fig. 3 looking in the directionof the arrow. Figs. 5 to 9, inclusive, represent stages in the .processof folding my improved attach ment. In the drawings}: I

10 represents my improved attachment formed in the shape of a trianglehaving the base 11 and sides 12-12. The base and sides may be of anysuitable lengths and 4 relative proportions to suit the seats with whichmy attachment is to be used, and it is to be noted that Imake thebounding lines of my attachment straight so that 'same may be readilyformed from a continuous roll of paper with a minimum of expense fortools and with a minimum of" waste paper.

. An oval shaped hole 13 is provided in any suitable location in myimproved attachment and radiating from the periphery of said hole is aplurality of perforations such as 14 forming lines of fracture when theattachment is being used and thus permitting the paper between thefractures to form a covering for the interior rim of the seat. When myimproved attachment is to he 5 a trian used the closet seat 15 is to beraised and the corners 1616 of my improved attachment are to be foldedaround the rear portion of the outeredge of the seat, then the corner 17is to be brought underneath the seat 15 as shown at 18 in Figs. 3 and4:; and then the end brought around on top of the attachment as shown at19 in said figures, thus effectually securing the attachment in place.It is to be noted that the attaching 'operation may be performed withoutthe fingers coming in contact with the seat.

'When the attachment is to be removed, the seat is to be raised and bysimply pulling the attachment, the corners l616 and the portions 18 and19 thereof will simply unfold therefrom.

" It is to be noted that when the seat is in use the pressure of theseat against the bowl 20 WIH'SGCHIQ the attachment in position as shownin Fig. 4.

-When the operation of forming my improved attachment is completed, itis in the shape shown in Fig. 2. It is thengfolded along the line21--21' in said figureto bring it into the shape shown in Fig. 5. It isthen folded along the line 22-22 in Fig. 5 to bring it into the shapeshown in Fig. 6. It is then folded along the line 23-93 to bring it intothe shape shown in Fig. 7. It is then folded along the line 2424 tobring it into the shape shown in Fig.- 8. It is then folded along theline 25-25 to bring it into the shape shown in Fig. 9, and finally it isThus it will be seen that I provide a simple, cheap and eifectiveattachment which can be produced without the use of expensive tools andwhich can be readily folded for the urpose of carrying in the pocket orof delivery by vending machines.

I claim I 1. A closet seat cover triangular in shape and rovided with ahole therethrough.
